I suspect that you were so busy reading the other articles that you didn't miss it. Is that true, Junior Folks? v Isn't this a splendid time to go coasting and skating? The ice and enow are just right, aren't they? Juniors, when you are out coasting and skating do you ever think of the folks at home and how they may ho worrying about you? Do you now? Of course I know that it is just lots bf fun to hang on the back of a wagon or a Ford with a sled, but it
really is dangerous. I knew a boy
that thing. It's lots of fun to go coasting down a nice long hill too, isn't it? But that too is dangerous, only the other day at Indianapolis a little girl was killed by an auto truck while she was coasting down a hill. So Juniors, when you are out with your sleds, have a good time, but please be CAREFUL. Skating is more fun than coasting I think, don't you? It is probably more dangerous, though. Often the ice appears to be strong when it really isn't. -Any number nf accidents) hannen nn the ina nan. m.
So Folks, please be careful on Ice as
ON THE BASKETBALL FLOOR Assuming that we are ready to develoD our basket-ball team, we
first have to secure a squad, so that the most efficient men can be chosen to represent our high school in the contests. Those on the team must be the best of the school in many respects. First he must be an ordinary sized man so that the weight of his opponent may not interfere with his offensive or defensive playing, lie must be accurate at the basket and develop himself to hit the goal almost by reflex action. All tricks, motions, and quick, plays and actions
io misieaa your opponents aaa to your record. Always be cheerful on the floor, and help your comrades to be this
.way too. It creates a spirit of "Pep" and helps to win the game. Always show the right spirit to your opponents and commend them on a good play. Do anything to show your hospitality and you will win honor in the future. If defeated, prosper by it in the next game and take it as a gentleman should. Ernest Rookstool, Lewisburg, Ohio.

Next we went pop, pop and when we looked around at each other we saw that we were all white. Then we were taken from the hot pan and were eaten. It hurt but we did not mind that much because we were helping to conserve food by feeding someone. Howard Fosnd, Hibberd school.

I was requested to ask you if you have any organization like the Camp Fire in France? I will try to tell you a few things about Camp Fire. Camp Fire means an organization of girls and women to develop the home spirit. Each camp has a guardian which is anyone over twenty-one years of age. Our Laws are: Seek beauty, give service, pursue j knowledge, be trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify work, be happy. To be a Camp Fire Girl we must make a costume, get a name and make a hand-band, by putting the symbol of your name. My name is Nawakwa, nd It means in the midst of the forest. If you don't understand the ex-j planations, ask our Camp Fire some J Above British forces Inside gates . .of Jerusalem, General Aiienoy saluting near center (1), a French officer (2), andn Italian officer, (3). Below General Allenby entering Jaffa gate. : The wresting of Jerusalem from the sway of the Turk Is one of the most historic events in the Tiistory of Christendbm and these photographs, the. first to arrive showing the British, in control, suggest a new and .colorful chapter in the history of the Christian faith. The top photo depicts the entry of the British forces into Jerusalem Gen. Edmund H. H. Allenby commander of the forces, is saluting. Behind him is a French officer and still further back Italian officer. Tho lower photograph shows General. Allenby entering .Jerusalem through the Jaffa gate on foot, carrying out the custom o'f the Crusaders, who centuries before, delivered the Holy City from the infidels.

OLD MAIDS' CORNER
(Their Latest Gossip.) As Lucille Jones wishes to adopt the nanio of Hetty, this is about tho only way of getting you folks next. Eh! Mushing? Just watch Hetty when she meets her friend. She occasionally has an attack of dropsy, too, or at least she thinks so. This Is the latest song hit sung by them at the "Happy go Lucky Theatre-" When the dew is on the rose, And the bee is on you nose. Please remember me as did tho bee, In the shade of the old apple tree. On account of the cold weather the Old Maids have not been able to get out and see what his been going on, therefore there has been no corner because if there Is anythiak that we do hate it is stale news so we thought that we would wait until the drifts melted and we could visit and find out what has happened. Lewis Bonge received a very charming compliment from a lady the other day. She said: "O, say, we had a debate in our class and Lewis Renge was on it and he certainly is a dandy debater! Beachey Eggemeyer gave a charming dance in our music closs at our farewell programme. Eliza Jane, charmed the 8A music class last Wednesday by singing, "Uncle Sammy." Beachey Eggemeyer sure enjoys looking at the boys, especially in the Civics class. Alice E. B. was planning to make a charming exit from Garfield but you know that there was some ice on the steps and it wasn't a very charming exit she made. The Old Maids are weeping bitter tears at leaving Garfield but the tears will soon be dried. Next week the Old Maids will publish their experience at High school. ter? Do you go to school?

For I hear ye at your play, And the questions that perplexed me Have vanished quite away. Ye open the eastern windows. That look toward the sun, Where thoughts are singing swallows, And the brooks of morning sun. In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine. In your thoughts the brooklets that flow: But in mine is the wind of autumn And the first fall of tho snow. Ah, what would the world be to us If the children were no more? We should dread the desert behind us Worse than the dark before. What the leaves are to the forest. With light and air for food. Ere their sweet and tender juices Have been hardened into wood: That to the world are the ohildren, Through them it feels the glow Of a bright and sunny climate That reaches the trunks below. Come to me, O. ye children. And whisper In my ear What tho wind and the, birds are 6inging. In-your sunny atmosphere. Contributed by Millie Goodlln, 4-A Grade, Hibberd School.
